Wirral Open Studio Tour will have a few folks that are into recycling showing, including my wire work from old tellies at

Sunday 25 September 2011; 10am-4pm
12a North Parade (West Winds) on the promenade
Hoylake
Wirral

But at other venues there will be Susan Boardman who has been known to re-use fabric, maps, egg containers from the fridge etc and Istra Toner who works with glass mainly but also works with recycled materials, Susan Meyerhoff Sharples who re-uses electrical wiring and old copper pipes….worth a look…I think if you click on my name it should take you to the Wirral Art website..

Lovely to meet through here, Ann and finally in person at the dinner. Neither of us won, the winner was Ilsa Parry with a lampshade made from the burrs that come off when metal is turned on a lathe.

I’ve tried it with onion skins – but without much success – it looks awesome but fell apart as soon as I tried to move it after forming. I’ve got a couple of ideas for how to do it differently though so will try again.

Love the garlic skin paper thing :) I’ve always wondered if that was possible. Could onion and physalis skins do the some sort of thing d’ya think?

Hi Myrtle,

Not a stupid question – that was a bit of a silly link really ;)

Having said that, I’m always forgetting to charge my phone and camera so I could see how it could be useful. More than on an about-town handbag, sewn into a big rucksack, it could be useful for hikers/campers — charging stuff while you walk — not just phones/cameras but also GPS units and possibly even LED torches/flashlights to use when nightfalls.

Can I ask a stupid question? Why the hell does anyone need a bag with a solar panel?
